Roland detested war, and he loathed even more those who glorified it while hiding in safety and goading others to march to their deaths. Every time he heard someone advocating phrases like "Every man must die, only by sacrificing the individual can we achieve greater deeds," he felt like vomiting.
So noble-sounding, yet why don't you and your families go to the front line to experience what sacrifice truly means? Go and fulfill these great deeds yourselves!
—Every time Roland heard such pro-war rhetoric, this was the roar inside his heart.
He could not shout out his true inner feelings.
